BABA
Thief! Thief! BK Rai of Hindi Prout is thief
(BK Rai of Hindi Prout Patna is a thief i.e. plagiarizer. He stole from others’ writing and published in his name.)
Namaskar,
In one discourse Baba says that good people try to make good things, and bad people try to destroy them. Baba further guides, thus you should watch out always. It is just as where one weaver makes cloth, but the rats and termites always try to destroy it. So when you see such things, your duty is to protect the good things. And give a good lesson to those who try to destroy them.
Similar things happened in this case. Baba has given Ananda Marga ideology, and some thieves are stealing Baba's books and printing in their own name, step by step. And here is the example of one thief who got caught red-handed.
See the below scan of a two-page article. BK Rai wrote the question numbers 70 and 71 which are printed in bold on the first of the two pages. The rest of the material-- the answers to the questions-- he stole from “Idea and Ideology”, the last chapter, and stuck in his name. Unfortunately this is not the first time. He is doing this since ages. He is a worthless fellow. He does not have any fear of shame or public humiliation.
So below is the example of BK Rai’s thievery.

Hypocritical ploy of Hindi Prout Editors
Please see the above & below scans, which are in Hindi. Here BK Rai created and printed two questions-- the first numbered ‘70’, and the second number ‘71’. Each of these questions, printed in bold in the upper scan, is one or two sentences long. The remainder of the text in these two pages is all stolen. BK Rai has stolen it from Ananda Marga Philosophy in a Nutshell part 1-4 (Hindi Edn.), pages 118-119. This is the proof that BK Rai steals. He stole from AMP. But there is no citation, and no quote marks. And he puts his name as “collector” i.e. he collected those pages, he gathered these things from somewhere. It could also mean that he collected them from his own old writings in his house. This is a hypocritical ploy also. Because if anybody confronts him about it, then he will reply that “Look, I wrote that I am the collector. So I collected these paragraphs from Ananda Marga Ideology”. Otherwise common readers when they read this article will think BK Rai is a genius, writing both the questions and the answers. Whereas, sadhakas should be honest. Bhaktas always feel happy to glorify their guru. But here it is the opposite case. He wants to glorify himself, after stealing Guru’s teachings and sticking his own name on the article.
If Bk Rai had been a genuine sadhaka, he would have printed clearly that the questions are written by BK Rai, and the answers are quoted and printed from Ananda Marga Philosophy. But he did not do so, so he is a thief.
Above is the scan of a two-page article from Hindi PROUT, November 2016, pp. 38-39, printed in the name of BK Rai.
Conclusion
Now it is the duty of every devoted Margii more so than ever, to protect Baba's discourses. Because, when the guard himself is stealing from the house, then how can we trust? Outwardly it looks like BK Rai is a bonafide sadvipra, but inside he is a thief. Patna Margis think that BK Rai is great. But by his action it is proved that he is lowly.
So we should protect Baba's teachings. Otherwise gradually all the books will be lost. People will go on removing Baba's name, sticking their own name instead, and reprinting them. In AM, degeneration is going on very fast. You see that in the last few decades, so much deterioration came. We should not keep quiet. Start from this very moment. We should not tolerate plagiarism in any form; we have to save our Guru’s teachings.
Namaskar,
At His lotus feet
